I'm using SOS 4.2 on a MacBookPro running OS 10.7.4. The app worked fine until yesterday and now it launches and then immediately crashes. I've tried connecting with the command line client and that works, but I need to get the GUI work for more functionality.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting the app, rebuilding GTK, deleting the preferences, rebooting, rebooting in safe mode... Here is the crash report from my Mac. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Can you find the SourceOffSite (SOS) cache on your machine and delete it so that a new one is created? Additional information about the SOS cache can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1529&hilit=cache

Does SOS still work on other machines?

Have any updates been installed recently?

Check your colors preferences. There was a user in the past that had a crash due to those settings. More information can be found in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8929.

Beth, I have it set up to log in automatically. So, the terminal window comes up, the /Applications/SourceOffSite/sos command is entered, the GUI starts and then "Logging in..." displays and then it crashes.

I couldn't find any cache files named databaseX.sos - do you know the path on a Mac? I think the one in that thread is for a Windows machine.

It works for my colleagues still, but I don't have it set up on any other machines.

I may have installed an OS update, but I'm not sure if it's possible to roll it back.

I did read this thread and tried changing the setting to Thousands. I still got the crash.

So I've uninstalled X11 and installed XQuartz. Then I was getting issues that X11 was missing. I installed XCode, which put the libraries into /usr/X11 but I'm getting an error now that they should be in /usr/X11R6 like this:

bash-3.2$ /Applications/SourceOffSite/sos ;No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfiglibrary is not correctly configured. You may need toedit the fonts.conf configuration file. More informationabout fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manualpage and on http://fontconfig.orgbash-3.2$
